Modern millpond.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 shows a millpond at this location. Together with a second millpond to the south, these provided waterpower to a corn mill located a short distance to the south.


The millpond is retained by a masonry dam along its south side and still contains water, although it now only covers approximately 60% of the area recorded by the 1868 survey.
